Lossiemouth (1/3), Gala Marceau (9/2), Gust Of Wind (8/1), Tekao (16/1), Ascending (33/1), Cinsa (50/1), Jourdefete (125/1), Darraby (200/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins comes here mob-handed and his unbeaten filly LOSSIEMOUTH is strongly fancied to make it 4-4 on the back of her impressive C&D success. Stablemate Tekao brings considerable potential and is next on the list ahead of Gala Marceau who can make it a clean sweep for Mullins.
